As the first in our series of national packaging recycling campaign comes to an end, (don't worry we are back in July !), we in Repak are looking to far off lands, (well the UK) to see how we compare.
As we already know more and more people are recycling however (and I do hate to nag), with recycling growth rates slowing and with us still only recycling circa 35% of used household packaging we need people to recycle more and to better use the current recycling infrastructure that is available.
Therefore our current range of campaigns are geared to highlight the less frequently recycled items. People are exceptionally good at recycling wine and beer bottles but we seem to forget about the food jars, jam jars pickle jars etc. Likewise recycling plastic drinks bottles, not problem here, but we do not as readily recycle shampoo and shower gel bottles, detergent bottles, cleanser bottles, sauce bottles etc.
The UK has roped in the talents of Gail Porter to get their message across, click here for more on their current Recycle Now campaign.
